DIRTADDICT Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 We are planning on coming out this weekend. We want to camp near the A-11 square on the Dumont map. My 5'ver weighs 18,500lbs. I have 15 years camping experience and know what to look out for when it comes to getting stuck. I am just wondering how the dirt is? Is it really dry and soft? Or is it all pretty safe? Thanks guys.

Gino the nice thing on D is that you can camp at a lot of different spots (including very remote and quiet areas) we never had any problem with our heavy truck conversion; just keep up the momentum, use common sense, avoid soft spots, dont turn too tight and you will be fine. i hope you and your family have a great weekend with a lot of fun!!! stephan Edited April 1, 2008 by spooner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 It's more hard pack to the left as you enter. You will do just fine though as long as you stay away from the finger dunes (which are on the right side coming in on the entrance road). If you get up close to them it tends to get pretty soft. Otherwise you can get in and out just about anywhere there with 4WD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVBob Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 When you get out there, if it's day time, you'll be able to see where not to go. You'll be fine, and if you get stuck, there's always somebody closebuy to pull you out! It's not Pismo LVBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indasand Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 The closer you get to the dunes the softer it gets.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
